The mobile app development process requires the combined effort of talented and experienced individuals in the areas of:

- Business strategy

- UI/UX design

- Systems architect

- Software engineer

- iOS /Android developer

- Tester

This guide from the Envisage Apps team is a must-read if you are seeking to develop an app.

Once it is built, the guide stops and the gates start: everything you ship has to clear [Apple's App Review Guidelines](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/) and Google Play's policies before anyone can download it. That is what a [Launch Gate Audit](/launch-gate-audit/) is for. If you are earlier than that and still working out what version one has to prove, start with the [startup process](/app-developers-gold-coast/) instead.

## They say

> It was a pleasure to work with Nathan and his team. He possesses a degree of professionalism and expertise that are hard to find when looking for independent software developers. I would recommend EnvisageApps to anyone looking for someone with expertise in web services, Microsoft .Net, and related web technologies.

> — Catherine Liao, Custom eCommerce & CMS Project

> We turned to Envisage Apps when we became dissatisfied with our existing developer. Envisage brought a new UX, rewrote the app and brought us a new business model. Envisage is not just a development company but also provided innovation and knowledge from both technology and startup business know-how.

## Disrupt or be disrupted.

We accelerate app innovation.

## Our creative process

### Idea

Your app idea. Your vision. Our shared success. At your consultation we work with you to understand the app idea for your business or startup, business goals, time frame and budget. We offer honest advice and insight to set you on the path to success. We are excited - this is the beginning of our long-term relationship with you.

### Strategy

Crunch time. We work out what the product actually has to prove, and what can wait until it has. Expect to get pushed on the assumptions you have not tested — that is the point of the session, and it is far cheaper here than after the build.

### Design

Successful app designs = engaged users. The right user experience increases retention, engagement and revenue. A simple, yet smart design that drives users to interact with your app. Our expert UI/UX designers combine their craft and psychology to ensure your customers are hooked to your app. Don't like something? You can make tweaks before we start building.

### Development

Do you need a custom, native iOS, Android or Windows app? We built it - and we built it right. Experience, innovation and determination are our strengths. Your app is developed by our highly skilled development team. Years of architecture expertise, engineering know-how, advanced tools and development languages enable us to fluently develop code specific for your app requirements.

### Launch

Champagne time! Your app has passed testing, is highly optimised and the user experience perfected. You've been involved in the entire process and as appreneurs, we share this excitement with you. You are now part of our happy clients and success stories to share. Our awesome apps have awards under their belts, improved business revenue, helped raise capital and launched startups to fame. That's success, right?

### Analytics

Metrics matter. The right analytics platform gives you powerful insights into the performance of your app so you can start making decisions. Are users behaving as expected? How can you increase engagement? Our mobile app analytics service integrates the necessary tools to measure results and obtain actionable data.
